It was just another Sunday as I sat at home browsing the internet, I clicked on my favourite link, a site where I satisfy my drama addiction. As I clicked on Desperate Housewives, there it was, Season 7. Wheeee !!
I have indulged in 3 episodes since then...muahahaa
my alternative to spill my blabbers, giving some peace to the woman sitting beside me; my family members; the girl next door; the poor dog at the back of my house; the neighbour's irritating bird. they listen to me chatter away non-stop. and yes.. that's how much i talk

My birthday
Last year, I spent my birthday alone, with instant noodles and leftover dishes. I am not showing self pity, but I felt really sad last year, and wished that this year would be different. And last year, was my first birthday without you, just when I thought this year would be the same, you broke the spell. Thanks darling *hugs*
25th October 2010, 12am
Daddy, Mommy & Abby came up to my room with a cake ! Surprise !! It was so sweet of them to celebrate with me at 12 midnight, knowing that I'll be either with my friends or working late on Tuesday night.
26th October 2010
I went to work as usual on Tuesday, knowing that it'll be a lovely day ahead. The train of wishes came pouring in on Facebook, by all my dear friends, colleagues were wishing me as I passes them by. It made me smiling all day.
Wahida bought me lunch at Du Viet, a Vietnamese restaurant at KLCC. It was nice to sit down and share juicy goss with her. She has had such a tiring week! Poor girl,must bring her out on a good date!
At 5.30pm, my dearest colleagues surprised me with a yummy cheese cake and a KFC feast. So sweet of them. It was a lovely mini celebration. Thanks! Was still working till bout 8.30pm, after being shooed twice by Rachel. I was finally going to make a move and head home, that's when he called and said he in KLCC. Was told to give him 30 mins while he wraps up his dinner with colleagues, then he will drop me home. And so Cally suggested that we grab a drink next door, a drink here meant hot chocolate and coffee. It was so nice to sit down and have a good chat about books! I don't remember the last time I met someone who loves reading so much !
He picked me up at 9+, and gave me a lovely heart shaped cake. We cut cake in the car though, how romantic. hehe. We then went for a walk at Desa Park City, and sat together till the last few mins of my birthday , which led to the first few minutes of his birthday.
27th October 2010
It's my off day ! Wheee.. as I only manage to sleep at 3+, I woke up at 11am. Had a quick breakfast, and went to Mid Valley for retail therapy. It was some good time spent with sissy, have not been out with her for a long time. HZ came by to have lunch with me. I felt so much better after meeting her. JM came by at 7+, we were going to have dinner with his good friend and wife to be. We had a scrumptious meal in Tony Roma's, with a good chat to end the night.
28th October 2010
Patricia bought me dinner and drinks. We went to a lovely Italian restaurant in Ampang. La Risata is the name. We had amazing food, a good chat and then washed it down with a pint of Strongbow Cider at Havana's. Thanks girl, for listening to me talk all night! My BFF of 10 years !
That's quite a series of events for my birthday this year.

Mr Big
A retweet
It's only when we truly know and understand that we have limited time in earth and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, then we will begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.
This is a retweet from my bro's blog, for some reason I find the quote very inspiring, and decided to 'borrow' it. It's sad that we sometimes only realise things when it's slipping away from your fingers, or worst, it has slipped away. It could be a loved one, a family, or even the neighbour that you never smiled to.
Carpe diem - a Latin phrase that has popularly been translated to " Seize the day" . It is a saying by Horace, a Roman leading poet, the original phrase is much longer and actually means Seize the day, trusting as little as possible in the future". I often myself pondering on the many what-ifs in life. I know that I am sometimes too cautious, especially where emotions are concerned. I have been contemplating some decisions for months, being very careful in what I say and what I project. And then it hit me that, this is probably not the way to do it. You know very well that you only live once, and you should follow your heart. I suppose I let the logic get the better of it. Is there logic in love tho?
Being sitting around thinking of a few things, not knowing what I should do, or rather where I should start. Then I realised how important timing is, after all, it is never about doing just the right thing, but the right thing at the right time. The fuss about 'good timing' is reflected strongly in the Chinese culture, look at a wedding ceremony, it's all about keeping things in a particular time frame.
And my question is, is this the right time? Or I missed the " 吉时" ?

Long night
Taking a stop after the long day, thought I'll pen in some before I leave the office. It's been 16 hours since I stepped into office. Been slaving away, juggling and rushing the preparations for the gala dinner this Friday, and to top it off, a last minute dinner on Saturday nite? What a blow.. Might have to drop by in the evening then. Darn, was just thinking of going away for the weekend. Oh mayb on Sunday then.
Been workin on an auto-pilot mode all day, so much to do, and find it hard to coordinate my hands ! In the midst of replying an email, my hands moved and grabbed other things that I'm supposed to do. Gosh..
Am looking forward for a bit of quiet time to myself, feel like sitting on the top of a mountain, clearing my thoughts and finding some answers. But that didnt work the last time I tried.. I felt more depressed then. Read an article about working productively by working smarter and harder, but is there such a thing as thinking productively? Does it mean shutting down the negativity and focusing on the positive energy? Does weighing the pros and cons mean literally writing it down into 2 columns on a piece of paper? Time to seek some zen...
Am feeling very tired, but mentally wide awake. Insomnia is creeping to me lately, I have not googled the causes, am so far blaming it on stress and my hardworking brain? But maybe I know why, but I'm in denial. Oh, this bad gastric I'm having now does not help at all. The pain is just excruciating? ok, that's a bit dramatic. Each time, I have a bad gastric, it reminds me of a moment I shared with someone few years back. I had such a bad gastric after having orange juice at a mamak, and I remember that I could barely walk home. Oh, there goes my random thoughts.
Good night for now...

The weekend
Just got back from a short trip over the weekend. A good retreat to relax the mind and soul. Well, the mind wasn't full resting, but it was good enough for the time being.
I should go away more.
Period.

Patience is virtue.. be the better person
I had this on my Skype status for a few days.
If I was asked for my strength at a job interview, about my strengths, I would say it's my postive mental attitude. I have been hanging on to that for the past few days. At some point, I really feel like giving up. It is so demotivating as the layers are peeled, and you see the true colours.
I've set the time frame, and I will keep going till then.

May it be..
Thought of this song as I was writing, and rewatching SATC Season 1.. the weird things that I do..
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far you are from home
Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
May it be the shadows call
Will fly away
May it be you journey on
To light the day
When the night is overcome
You may rise to find the sun
Mornie utúlië (darkness has come)
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantië (darkness has fallen)
A promise lives within you now
A promise lives within you now
Untitled..
I've been sitting home all day, managed to clear my abso-fucking-lutely messy table. (Been rewatchin SATC and adapted the word from there). Went to Tesco to buy some groceries, did plenty of chores, and had time to read my newly acquired book - My China by Kylie Kwong, and fell asleep in the midst of it. And now, I'm sitting here writing my 2nd post. I have so much time in my hand today! It's all a lil weird when I have been complaining that I do not have time for myself, nor do I have much time to rest. How often do you find yourself in such situation? How often do you find yourself wanting to do so many things, but only to find the timing absolutely wrong? Or at times, have words hanging at the tip of your tongue, but never had the courage to say it. Ironic as it seems, but we all face moments like these, perhaps every single day, whether you realise it or not.
It's the way of life that mankind are always wanting things that we cannot get. Hence the expression - the grass is always greener on the other side. But is it really greener and lusher?
*Writer's blog.. I don't know what I want to express anymore.. sigh, maybe it's time for bed. Good night world*

It's 10.10.10 !
The date is triple ten today. Happy 10.10.10 is probably the most common facebook status you'll see since last night. Hrmm.. reminds me of my IP address back in hostel. Lol
Am having a quite weekend at home, it's a well deserved weekend after the eventful week. So much has happened in the past 5 days, and the anti climax now seems so unreal. 1st commandment in mind, so no bitching here. To sum it up, work and everything else was a mess! It was a total battlefield of emotions from Mon - Friday. Friday was a total madness, and by the time I left office at 11pm, I realised that I've been up for 17 hours already! Well, minus the 2 hours we spent having dinner at KLCC, I was actually in the office for 15 hours.. oh gosh.
As I drove off from the office at 11+, all ready to end my long day, the KL night life was just warming up! It was a slow crawl along Jalan Pinang to Lorong P Ramlee, as there was the Asia Ducati fest in Beach Club, the crowd there was massive. As I waited a good few mins at the red light, I feasted my eyes on the chaotic scene on the sides of the road. In front of me, I saw 2 foreigners get in a cab with 3 ladies, and I cannot help but to assume the transactions that are due to happen.
Reached home about 11+, and boy was I shattered. God knows where I found the energy to get dressed and head out again. I suppose it's the Friday night fever! Had my brother dropped me at The Curve to meet some friends, hehe, that's what younger brothers are for ! Lol...
Came back early in the morning, and fell straight on my bed, I needed some good sleep after the super long day! Buenos noches people!
Saturday was more subtle, I went down to KL for a haircut, absolutely love my last haircut, thus goin the distance for it. But I must say that I'm a lil disappointed with it this time, it's a lil more funky than what I would have preferred. Hope my boss doesnt comment much bout it. *gulp*
After my haircut, I took a stroll along Petaling Street, haven't been there for a while, the last was probably back in July when Ivy visited. Then I made a stop at this cozy shop at the corner of Jalan HS Lee, to buy some cakes. Their durian cakes are to die for! Yum ! After savouring a bowl of beef noodles in a lil corner inside Shin Kee Beef Noodles, I headed home.

Had dinner in Karak last night. Came back about 11+, had to say no to Patricia's invite to Reggae, fell flat on my bed till 9.30am this morning. I guess I needed a really good rest.Period.

Good morning..
It's quarter to 7 now, and I'm sitting here in the office. Really should be kicking off with my tonnes of work. Wait a minute, is it all my work? It's just so frustrating at times.
(Ok, Principle No#1, Thou shalt not bitch about work on my blog.)
Well, since I left work early yesterday for a dinner appoinment, it's only fair to make it up by coming in early. There are tonnes of emails and proposals to go out today, it being Friday, and I really don't wanna spend another long Saturday in the office. Hrm, this pattern seems to fit me a lil better, leaving work a lil earlier ( by all means before 9pm), at least I could spend time with my loved ones and catch up a lil with my social life.
Things has been a lil shaky these days, it's mainly my thoughts I guess. It is definitely a better idea to pour out, but it just seems so much easier to seal it up. A close friend suggested meditating, it's suppose to help you achieve a calmer mind, but I don't know how, and not sure if I could.
Next thing to google : Soul searching

October-fest !
No no , this is not an ad to promote German beer.
As we slowly creep into October, I can't believe that it's actually 3 more months till end of 2010. Time really flies aye? I was working over the weekend for a highly ranked socialite event. It was a birthday party of a famous figure, and a flashy party was thrown for him by his wife. The party was literally flashy as they had the Paper Dolls walking around only in minimal clothing. The whole grand ballroom was dressed up to look like Las Vegas. Ooo- la - la. I suppose this is how the rich celebrate their birthdays.
The weekend has been long and tiring ! Long hours on Saturday, and an eventful Sunday! Went to Bukit Jalil to watch the Malaysian ATP finals with Mommy, Sissies, and Patricia. It was fun ! We had really good seats, and a good view of the eye-candy. And Patricia was eyeing.. .ahem.. someone else too. It was both the doubles and singles final game, and we sat there for close to 5 hours.. oh , our poor bum. Was pretty drained at the end of the game, left the stadium and only got home at 9+. And the next day was monday already! Sigh...
